"Album of the Year," released on September 14, 2010, is the fourth studio album by Detroit's own Black Milk, a masterful blend of alternative and underground hip hop that showcases the artist's exceptional production skills and lyrical prowess. Produced almost entirely by Black Milk himself, with assistance from Will Sessions, this 54-minute journey through 12 tracks is a testament to his artistic vision and resilience.
The album opens with "365," setting the tone for a year-round exploration of Black Milk's experiences and reflections. Standout tracks like "Welcome (Gotta Go)" and "Keep Going" highlight his ability to craft infectious beats and deliver compelling narratives. "Oh Girl," featuring AB, adds a touch of soulfulness, while "Deadly Medley" showcases Black Milk's versatility and creativity.
"Album of the Year" is not just another hip hop album; it's a deeply personal and determined response to the challenges Black Milk faced in 2009. The album's raw energy and authenticity make it a standout release in the genre, earning it a critic score of 74 and a user score of 65. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Black Milk's music, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. The VMP exclusive version, pressed on Gold Nugget vinyl and limited to 1000 copies, is a collector's item that fans won't want to miss.
